Lou,

the factory has an upgraded version that is supported on both sides with 
a welded on C angle brace..

Its a pretty cheap fix to buy a new one ans swap it out.

     As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In 
both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly 
unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of 
change in the air however slight lest we become unwitting victims of the 
darkness.

     William O. Douglas, Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court
